fry 0 Posted April 2, 2004 I went up to the local rolling road place today to see what power my car is making as its been feeling a little gut-less on acceleration just lately. The figures I got were quite depressing. It was putting out 115bhp at full whack there is sod all tourque below 4500revs and the losses are phenomenal I managed 80 bhp at the wheels !!! despite having 143000 miles which is a lot I know there are no serious modifications to it other than exhaust, drilled air box and the 50mm inlet manifold from the mk2 golf. i am going to have the compression checked soon to see whats going on there. I have a feeling that top end will need a rebuild. So to get to my point any thoughts on why it could be so bad and whats the average price for a rebuild if that turns out to be the case?? cheers phil :( forgot to mention its a 1.8 16v Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flusted 0 Posted April 3, 2004 It sounds like a timing prob.When i fitted my new cams i had the cambelt a tooth out and the car suffered from the same symptoms. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
